Greetings, I'm trying to get modules to work on my R5000 little endian target, linux 2.4.1 + modutils 2.4.2 . When I insmod a module, I get error messages like: [root@192 /]# insmod dummy.o dummy.o: local symbol gcc2_compiled. with index 10 exceeds local_symtab_size 10 dummy.o: local symbol __gnu_compiled_c with index 11 exceeds local_symtab_size 10 dummy.o: local symbol __module_kernel_version with index 12 exceeds local_symtab_size 10 dummy.o: local symbol set_multicast_list with index 13 exceeds local_symtab_size 10 dummy.o: local symbol dummy_init with index 14 exceeds local_symtab_size 10 dummy.o: local symbol dummy_xmit with index 15 exceeds local_symtab_size 10 dummy.o: local symbol dummy_get_stats with index 18 exceeds local_symtab_size 10 dummy.o: local symbol dummy_init_module with index 21 exceeds local_symtab_size 10 dummy.o: local symbol dev_dummy with index 22 exceeds local_symtab_size 10 dummy.o: local symbol dummy_cleanup_module with index 26 exceeds local_symtab_size 10 [root@192 /]# Looking at the source code of modutils, I suspect that there is something wrong with the ELF header of the module (the sh_info field of the SYMTAB section is 0xa while it should be 0x17 ??). ELF header is attached below. The command used to compile the module is : mipsel-linux-gcc -I/usr/src/linux/include/asm/gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -mcpu=r8000 -mips2 -Wa,--trap -pipe -DMODULE -mlong-calls I use egcs 1.2.1 + binutils 2.9.5. Is this a problem with my binutils?
